started this whole incident. he is also been arrested for rape in hawaii and in his possession when officers discovered his body, was a passport and an airplane ticket to new mexico. so that's all part of the investigation as to his motive. as we hear more about what happened on tuesday, more stories are emerging of the heroes who may have saved lives. each day, the memorial outside of santa cruz police headquarters grows. >> i was really sad. so i just had to come and pay my respects. >> reporter: sergeant loran "butch" baker and detective elizabeth butler were killed on tuesday when they came to branciforte avenue to question a suspect in a sexual assault investigation. 35-year-old jeremy goulet a former marine whose father described him as a ticking time bomb. officers say he opened the door and started firing at the officers fatally shooting them both them stole their guns, unmarked car and took off. the fire department tried to
